What We Do › Women's Health › Women's Wellness Centers

AIHA partnership Women’s Wellness Centers fill a void by providing not only diagnostic screening and clinical services for both acute and chronic conditions, but also much-needed patient and community health education and support programs. For the first time, women in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia can come to a single place to seek treatment and advice on health-related matters ranging from cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes to family planning, maternal care, behavioral health, and menopause.

Women are empowered through programs that teach the value of good health and the importance of taking charge of their own wellbeing by adopting healthier lifestyles, performing monthly breast self-examinations, and avoiding situations that put them at greater risk.

These centers provide a comprehensive range of primary care services within the setting of an ambulatory care facility. They also offer a wide variety of health promotion programs such as classes, public education campaigns, telephone hotlines, and support groups addressing topics from domestic violence and substance abuse to coping with cancer.

The objective of each Women’s Wellness Center is to improve the quality of life—not just of the patients they treat, but their families and communities as well—by empowering women to play an active role in their own healthcare. Clinic staff accomplish this through on-going dialogue with patients, who are encouraged to participate actively in the decision-making process.
